Interesting Ryan McGloin and Finn Prass both starting Force A and backing up on the Bench next morning for the Academy.
As the ACT Brumbies Runners have only named 23, I suspect both the Force Squads will be trimmed.

Yes that was a surprise when I saw his name. He should jump Wells in the pecking order pretty quickly if we aren't playing favourites

They're playing favourites by having him in the 23! Tizzano is the only one of the back row who is holding their own so far.

Disappointing seeing Clay Uyen playing for the opposition when we're light on wingers

Force A come back to draw 31-31 after being down 24-10 at half time
